AB 263 Criminalizing The Reporting Of Illegals
Basically this bill would prohibit or inhibit a person from reporting an illegal alien to the authorities, even the feds. That would be me for one, as I always report illegals when I come across them. But this would stop an employer from doing that, as well as another employee or anyone who came across the knowledge that an employee was illegal

I think this has more to do with something like an illegal calling OSHA or participating in a union drive, whereupon the employer calls immigration concerning a fraudulent I9 to get rid of the "problem".
I have a dim recollection of an employer (or more) who used to employ illegals on a promise of big money, but called INS on the employees when payoff was due. OSHA is the last entity any employee wants to contact - the company will figure out who it was that filed (even if the complaint was anonymous) and figure out a way to terminate the employee for cause. And maybe can a few more to whip the rest into shape.

Unfortunately it encompasses "any other person" in addition ot being directed at employers. We'll see what happens during the analysis, but a judge has already ruled that a company has a first amendment right to report a crime or violator to the federal government. The case cited is a bank who was sued for denying a loan to an illegal, and then reported said illegal to immigration authorities

The case cited can be found here. So the proposed law conflicts with the Anti-SLAPP laws already in print in the California codes:
